Beschreibung:
This book presents design principles and practical guidance for key hydraulic structures in practice. The Fourth edition is divided into two parts: Dam Engineering and Other Hydraulic Structures. The first section covers geotechnical, structural and hydraulic aspects of dams, and is followed by chapters on coastal and offshore engineering. The second part explores diversion works, cross drainage and drop structures, inland waterways, and hydroelectric power development. Worked numerical examples supplement the main text and extensive lists of references conclude each chapter.
